>From the Samba 2.0 beta announcement:5). Cross protocol data integrity --------------------------------- An open function interface has been defined to allow "opportunistic locks" (oplocks for short) granted by Samba to be seen by other UNIX processes. This allows complete cross protocol (NFS and SMB) data integrety using Samba with platforms that support this feature. Does this include netatalk connectivity? Occasionally I need to build a box with both SMB and AppleTalk connectivity to support a mixed Windows and Mac environment. Peter ----- Peter H.

Your kernel must support it. j- ________________________________________________________________________ Gerald ( Jerry ) Carter Engineering Network Services Auburn University jerry@eng.auburn.edu http://www.eng.auburn.edu/users/cartegw "...a hundred billion castaways looking for a home." - Sting "Message in a Bottle" ( 1979 )
